Country DAYS is our favorite as well! We just had a great time there this past Saturday in the corn maze and roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. The kids LOVE the cow train, playground and corn box. I love that you can pick from different quizzes that help you get through the maze. This time we chose NC state symbols and Scripture. 🙂

Kersey Valley corn maze in High Point is great too. They have ziplining, and gem and fossil mining. You can also take your dog.
